i hope as a fan of basketball that tmac can return to what he was doing a few years ago. A prime TMac would be right in the discussion with Kobe, lebron wade and melo.

i agree perez. ill be rooting for him

Yup, I think people forget how good McGrady really was..if he never got injured he would’ve been a top 5 player right now

But for these last 29 games, I wouldnt set the expectation bar too high, but who knows…he can pull a Jamison and go 0-12 or he can explode for 30…..you dont really know how ready he really is…just gotta wait & see

well said. im actually suprised more knicks fans arent saying how good he is gonna be

I don’t think a Knicks game has got this much notice in the History of NBAdraft.net message boards, lol

Count it and the Foul.

Eddie House doing it the right way!

lol..youre right about that knicksfan. people are probably switching between uk vs vandy and the knicks game

5 pts, 2 ast before hitting the bench…not bad

House can shoooooot

Mac with the attack? Man, as NY fan…I’m really hype

T-Mac is starting to look comfortable on the court.

Count it and the Foul.

hes looking reeeeeeeeeeeeeeal good

looks like rockets did him grimey because he said he was 100% its sad if its tru

Dammn..
10 Points in one quarter..
Did yall see the and one Lay-up he did?
then the pass to al harrington?
He lookin good

When do they play the Rockets?

Random Irrelevant Thoughts:

Tracy McGrady looks just like Will Smith in Hitch

Daniel Orton looks like an obese Russel Westbrook

Oh & Yeah, T-Mac is definetly ballin, lol

Man, As a Knick fan…they’re playing defense, there scoring efficiently…man I’m really hyped for these last 30 games

Also, if McGrady plays like this for the next 30…he might be in NY next season.

The Knicks sucked the first 53 games, but I am excited for the final 29 games no matter what they outcomes. This is a breath of fresh air.

Knicks must lose!!!!!!

Yea, but how much of a pay-cut.

He’s slick by saying that because a pay-cut is what? 10 mil a season? The man makes 21 million now…

I would love T-mac for like 5yrs/35mil

Only if we knew how to box-out…

A 3 year deal for 10 million? That’s about…3.2 mil a season my man. McGrady won’t resign.

I would love NY to keep McGrady nevertheless

We need another rebounder, I do see we need that.

yeah 3 year 10million makes zero sense.. it would be a slap in the face. he wont get 10 million but he will get a nice amount of money. someone was right when they say people forgot tmac was good before the injury. hell while he was injuried and playing he was good and if he shows he is healthy he will get paid. and he’s only 30 years old

I wonder what he will look like when he actually get his feel for the game back. He looks a little stiff even though he’s playing well.

McGrady has already said he does not care about money and that he has enough money to retire right now so I doubt we’ll have a Latrell Sprewell situation, he also said if they got a big name free agent he’d be a damn fool not accept a paycut so…

Don’t get me wrong, if I come back healthy and playing well, we’re going to do some negotiating

He’s playing well….looks like he might negotiate.

i think hes worth about 5 to 7 mill a year

Didn’t see the post right above me I think I need my glasses

I looked at the standings….The Knicks are not super far off for that 8th seed! lol

yeah i dont see a latrell sprewell situation but im sure he will want a realistic about and not a leauge min for a 10 year vet or something..lol man if i would take the time and post how many players have said one thing then changed there mind at the end of the season i could fill 5 pages

Also, Knicks fans…I’m glad your here

We might be able to get something for D-Lee and still get 2 max FA’s!

http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/13615/walsh-exceeded-his-own-cap-clearing-expectations

i will go on record and say he will not take that big of a pay cut. who ever said 5-7 thats very realistic

Count It And Foulx3

Wilson Chandler is one of those really underrated players in the NBA.

wow sergio looks like a different player with the knicks dont he?

Only played one game my man….

matter of fact how many players have played as bad as he has for 2 different teams and then gone to there third team annd played pretty well? and its one game plus the last 3 and a half seasons he has played

I bet Sergio Rodriguez would be an all-star if he had a freak athlete like Derrick Favors to play with.

You being a Billups fan- I would think you would know sometimes a player needs to be moved sometimes until he finds the right fit…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Rodriguez

for one..hes not billups. billups showed how good he was in a three year time. youre just hoping he can become billups because youre a fan but youtre not looking at it realistically youre looking at it from a fan’s point of view. in reality sergio right now is a back up

Let’s take it one game at a time man, he’s a PG. His adjustment is going to be a bit longer than any other position on the floor. Rodriguez isn’t the 2nd coming, matter of fact I don’t think he’s going to put up much better stats than Duhon, but I do think he can provide solid assists numbers. Maybe like 7 per game. It’s his 1st game. If your expecting 20 pts and10 assist in someone’s 1st game you’ll be disappointed every time. Let’s not critique a guy on his performance with a new team.

I never said he was Billups.

I said, give him time in D’Antoni’s uptempo system where he can run, I think he can play well. If he comes back next season and becomes the starter, his numbers would improve.

I usually don’t care about the Knicks but now that McGrady is back, I’m interested.

yeah i dont expect those numbers in his 20th game..lol..i see him getting around his same numbers. 6-7pts 3-4 ast. thats not bad for a back up pg. duhon will still get minutes no matter how much knick fans dont like him and house will cut into both of there minutes

He shot that 3 for you Quincey! LOL

It has been mentioned that McGrady has stated he would take a pay cut if the Knicks landed the marquee free agents in Free Agency, but this may sound ridiculous how well do you think McGrady would respond coming off the bench??

Don’t make me laugh.

He just wants to play. T-Mac is not Iverson.

NY needs to get my boy Bill Walker in the game

Bill Walker. The pride and joy of the Kansas State Wildcats! lol

Lets be real..

Quincey is right in the sense that he is a backup…Nash/J.Williams(SAC) comparison needs to cool down..

However…i dont see Duhon as a better player than him, in this game alone Rodriguez has drove the basket and kicked it out to the open player more times than Duhon has all season..

Rod: 4pts, 3 ast, 15 minutes
Duhon: 0pts, 2ast, 20 minutes..

I think before the season is over, he’ll trump Duhon for the starting spot….but hes not going to be anything more than a backup further down the line..

I am happy with T-Mac’s performance, but it’s only one game. I want to see how he does as the games go on will he get his game back or wear down. Also, I want to see how free agency plays out stuff is so far ahead with so many questions it is so hard to make predictions.

His ceiling is a young j-will at best…i just hope we will see spanish chocolate at the rucker this summer

Hey Guess What

Looks who playing in the 4TH Q at PG…Serge.

His 1st game…he’s running point in the 4th? D’Antoni and Walsh are interested in this guy. I think he returns next season

Now- Bring on Bill Walker

Anybody notice that Russell Westbrook is a terrible decision-maker?

He’s a great player and all, but right now he is NOT playing smart at all.

and still a back up pg at best. the knicks have 2 back up pg so one is bound to play..lol

dont forget the 3turnovers with the 4ast

He ice cold but I hate that stop shooting move. It kills momentum.

this happens sooooooo many times.. new guy comes to the knicks( starbury,duhon,hill curry when he came back from injuries) high expectations are place on them, they dont lieve up to them and then the fans say they are horrible. i feel bad for sergio because ny is a very tough place to go and play so i hope he has very hard skin. on a side note sergio as well as duhon need to watch out for house. he will get time at the point alot the rest of the year even though hes not a ture pg

Quincey, alright man we heard your opinion. You’ve done well.

Anyway- The Knicks are looking good with a bunch of new players on the roster

I’m going to punch that dumbass Russell Westbrook square in his cytoplasm.

^lol…qhaynes if you dont like what i have to say just ignore me..its that easy…anyway the knicks are playing very tough energetic basketball..this has been a nice game to watch. im wondering if every pg will get buckets against them though unless there stable learns to play defense

thats how its ganan be if lbj comes hes going to be the point

I LOOOOVE KEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!

***KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES***

Durant Is COLD.

butidonthavethemoney hates westbrook prior to durant’s shot b/c he wants the knicks to lose so the jazz get a higher pick.

I didn’t say I didn’t like what you said…all i said was alright…you done well

For the record, I like the Knicks. Danilo is my second favorite (non-Jazz) NBA player behind DeJuan Blair.

It’s all business.

lol..i forgot about the high draft pick for the jazz. i might have to root for the knicks more since jazz fans be dogging my lakers every time ive been to a jazz laker game….LETS GO KNICKS..LOL

He’s not been in that’s all that’s important. The Knicks are a more competitive less stagnant team when Duhon is on the pine.

I’m calling it: Sergio Rodriguez will start the next game.

Duhon hasnt gotten PT since the 3rd…i dont think

lol..youre right about that hes not important.. its like making the last pick between the last 2 kids for teams during recess

did tmac run out of gas?

*** KISSES KISSES KISSES ***

Can we just put something in perspective. This thread has got to it’s 3rd page. This game is not an All-Star game, not a playoff game, nor is it the NBA Finals. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great game, but we sure all have a lot to say about this game. Anyone else been thinking that??

true. right now its the hot topic. next couple of days things will die down, people will start wondering why this or why that and things will get back to normal. but right now this is the hot topic

If the Knicks win, they could gain confidence. Then they could win more games. Then the Jazz might get the 10th pick or some crap. That would be tUrrrrrrAble!!!

on fire 2night boyzzzz

Aiite, I’m Here. Now It’s a Party… 😀
*Everyone Slowly Exits*

anyone who saw Eddie House after that basket? He did a DX suck it!

man westbrook is going for a triple double… that kid is a straight beast. it will be interesting how good he will be when he fully understands how to be a pg. he’s only in year 2 of his being a pg project…scary

!!! ~~~ *** KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES KISSES *** ~~~ !!!

Quincey…I actually agree with you there. He has all the tools. Also, he’s a good rebounder and great defender

I remember people called the Westbrook pick a reach…silly experts

T-Mac Game Winner…I am calling it

Nvm, Eddie House ties it. (: I’m not watching the game, just getting updated. I think Knicks got the ball

exactly..thats why i think he has the highest potential in his class since hes right up there with everyone while only being in year 2 of being a pg. okc should be a force in 2 years if they keep going at the pace that they are going. imma have to keep a eye in the rearview mirror from my lakers car 🙂

Good Game…wish we came with the win but hey…good effort

I am proud to be a Knicks fan. This team played hard. I hope they can continue this for the next 28 games.

LOL I Kept waiting for something to happen on the Picture…but Yeah…LOL. Funny Face. Well, If Anyone Cares to know, Martin has struggled with his Shooting in his H-Town Debut, but still has got to the line.

Go Pacers!!!!!!

Business…

The Garden needs to be rockin like that all the time…

it will for awhile unless they dont start winning. this is how it rocked when starbury first got there and when d’antoni coached his first couple of games and when steve francis got there. hopefulyl this time the fans there will continue to rock it every game even when the newness wears off

youre right knicksfan those were the days. i hated the knicks then because i would be rooting for the bulls but those teams were good. if it wasnt for mj i think they would have had at least 2 titles

i remember clearly it rocking and knick fans getting excited. maybe you werent as excited but many knicks fans i know were. but it only last as long as they are winning

The Knicks were selling out every home game for a good 6 year period, now it’s rare they sell out.

Knicks should’ve won.

Yeah, it would’ve been a great story…

But Durant was clutch & on fire, and T-Mac said in the end he had NO legs…

So once he gets some more stability, and the rest of the guys get more chemistry, i expect us to do well for these last 28 games

T-Mac was playing with a purpose tonight. He showed off that classic pull-up of his, made some great passes and made good decisions overall. When the trade went down, I remember hearing my friends say that he wouldn’t be that good anymore because he wasn’t the same athlete, but T-Mac was an elite athlete in his prime. Therefore, his athleticism went from elite to average, and an average athlete can get to the hoop with enough length, ball-handling ability and savvy, which McGrady has in his arsenal, to say the least. I know it’s his first game back, but I’m still concerned about his knee; it kept him out of action during the end of the 4th and O.T (he was in the game, but all he did was inbound the ball, and I saw him rubbing it on the sideline). My expectations for him for the rest of the year are 15 P.P.G and 4 A.P.G.

Eddie House did what he does best: shoot the ball. It’s a bit nerve-racking to see him shoot off-balance with such a quick release, but it goes in at a regular percentage, and that’s all that matters. He did more dribbling tonight than I’ve seen him do in a while, and he really surprised me with his passes.

Sergio Rodriguez is exactly what an up-tempo team needs at point guard. He’s gonna be a steal if he can keep penetrating and dishing like he did tonight. He made a lot of good passes after collapsing the defense, especially to an open David Lee. I hope he can keep it up. I don’t really like that Duhon guy, and I think that’s a consensus on this site.
